Annie commented on the post, wet 8 months, 1 week ago
she felt the rush
as she stood on the edge, and peered at the ravine
and she felt impossibly tiny
and the rain fell above her,
and her face was wet and shined under the night sky
and she closed her eyes and […] -
Annie commented on the post, wet 8 months, 1 week ago
damn it i love you
rain drops falling and windows are cloudy
and umbrellas are vibrant in umber
and nothingness
and i see clouds
and I see your face
and we have nothing in common
but i kiss you […] -
Annie commented on the post, fawn 8 months, 3 weeks ago
daylight breaks on the brink of a horizon that isn’t quite there yet
the fog rolls in and out
in a never ending pattern
and the fawn stands
blinks his eyes
and waits -
Annie commented on the post, instrumental 1 year, 1 month ago
instrumentals dancing and humming through her mind
like the whir of a clock
all in precision time
the smooth sounds of imperfection
as blisters and bruises formed
and she felt weightless under the warmth of the sun -
Annie wrote about the word abstract 1 year, 7 months ago
she squinted towards the slants of light coming through the stained glass
as it made bright patterns on the stained linoleum
it was abstract
something not quite there
but somehow-
it meant something
maybe just because she imagined there was hidden meaning
or maybe just because -
Annie wrote about the word epiphany 1 year, 7 months ago
it swirled into consciousness in bursts of grey light
streamed down her cheeks in droplets and tears
filled the hollow hole in the back of her heart with something
not quite there
but slightly resembling that light at the end of a tunnel -
Annie wrote about the word edge 1 year, 8 months ago
on the edge of the shelf sat the bottle
reflecting glints of gold in the late summer afternoon
she stared,
and waited
and wanted
and reach
let go, and it shattered, spilled all over the floor -
Annie wrote about the word braid 1 year, 8 months ago
when we’re teenagers, we think our lives are intertwined
braided, like the cornsilk row that cascaded down her back when she was small
she distractedly touches her now shorn hair
and wipes the tears from her eyes
and waits -
Annie wrote about the word half 1 year, 8 months ago
two halves of a whole?
love is infinite to anyone who shuts their eyes
and holds tight onto nothing
and as she keeps pulling, on what she thought
was always going to be hers
the string snapped
the balloon floated away
a tiny speck on the horizon
nothing. -
Annie wrote about the word playground 1 year, 8 months ago
and every afternoon he would sit on the last swing on the right the one above the puddle and next to the blades of grass fighting against the smothering asphalt and he would pick at his peanut butter and jelly watch his classmates run and the little girl with the red glasses and the shy [...]

Annie wrote about the word crouch 1 year, 9 months ago
she squinted into the sunlight
from her quiet place behind the birch
and watched as the tears on her cheeks made patterns into
the dirt
like stars
always hiding,
afraid of nothing -
Annie wrote about the word concern 1 year, 9 months ago
fake love and concern swirls in his eyes
as he squeezes out plastic wrapped tears
that mean nothing
dripping down your cheeks
and they kiss,
and she runs
and the sun keeps burning. -
Annie wrote about the word account 1 year, 9 months ago
oh please, don’t stop on my account
continue swirling words around your tongue
so they roll from your lips like a half hummed tune
sweetly sinister
ringing in my ears, even as i fall asleep
more truths go untold
i can see that in your eyes. -
Annie wrote about the word clipped 1 year, 9 months ago
cancelled out my restless speech
clipped my phrases, stopped my breath
made me think that eloquence could roll off my tongue seamlessly
in all the crafted lies you told -
Annie wrote about the word insect 1 year, 9 months ago
you look at me like an insect
you treat me like i’m one too
insignificant, small
something until you want me to be nothing
and i’m submissive
you crush me
and i still love you -
Annie wrote about the word ant 1 year, 9 months ago
she was hopeless against the magnifying glass
shoved up against her, making cherry stained shadows
across the grass
and she stared up
at pinpricks of stars across a bloodshot sky
and wondered what else there was to life
besides the insignificance of being -
Annie wrote about the word division 1 year, 9 months ago
and the building fell
soundlessly, seamlessly
like a dream or vision
beginning with a careful crack
and the sky trembled a violent blue
and as the heavens opened up and shouted all through
the quiet night
the building shook in hues of grey
and then disappeared into calculated mist. -
Annie wrote about the word pepper 1 year, 9 months ago
red leather hits the tongue like a cracked salt shaker
spilling all over the counter
and blue rivers pour down her eyes
bittersweet sorrow mixed with fire in her mouth
closes her eyes, chews swallows
thinks about lost love, life and spice -
Annie wrote about the word sponge 1 year, 9 months ago
luminescent countertop reflects a slight spot of dirt of the walls
and the cracked basin is winking back at the faucet on the sink
the sponge sits on a shelf above
waiting patiently for it’s turn to be noticed -
Annie wrote about the word mist 1 year, 9 months ago
she glanced through the slow settling mist
at the mysterious figure with eyes the color of ocean blue
and sadness, and nights long lost
and the rain trickled down her shoulders
she blinked, and he was gone - Load More
